Actor Kwon Oh-joong candidly shared his son’s experience with school violence after hearing the story of a teenage mother whose son suffered the same.

On a recent episode of MBN’s Teenage Parents 4, actor Kwon Oh-joong, known as the “icon of paternal love,” joined as a studio guest.

Kwon Oh-joong, who warmly greeted the 3 MCs, Park Mi-sun, In Kyo-jin, and Seo Jang-hoon, expressed his deep love for his family, saying, “My son is suffering from a very rare disease that only about ten people in the world have. I’m living faithfully as a father and a husband rather than an actor.”

Shortly after, Kwon Oh-joong responded to Seo Jang-hoon’s comment that his perspective on being a teenage parent would be different as a father, saying, “You need to stay awake.”

He also said, “They may have become parents unintentionally, but creating a family is a difficult task that requires careful nurturing over a long period. I think they’re taking it too lightly,” activating his “tough love button” and giving an excellent performance.

The main guest of the day was the teen mom, Seo Yoo-sun.

Her mother revealed, “(Seo Yoo-sun) suffered from mutism after a child abuse incident at a daycare center when she was young. I thought she had gotten better, but she also suffered from school violence in her school days, playing the role of a ‘bread shuttle (being bullied into doing errands for people)’ for her peers,” adding to the sadness.

In response, Kwon Oh-joong calmly revealed, “My son also suffered from school violence for a long time.”

Kwon Oh-joong empathized deeply with the victim’s feelings, saying, “The perpetrator’s life may not be good, but the victim suffers from trauma for a lifetime. (My son) still shows the scars from the violence he suffered even 7-8 years after graduation, expressing his heartache.”

The production team stated, “Today’s main guest, Seo Yoo-sun, confessed to the aftereffects of long-term school violence, and her behavior continues to be off even after becoming an adult, causing her mother’s sincere concern.

We ask for warm attention to Seo Yoo-sun, who revealed her daily life due to her desperate mother’s report and to the concerns and current situation of the mother and daughter.”
